Ben's Shop

68 Main Street
Lee MA

Ben's facade looks like something out of 1961 - the sign written in script, the window displays are simple and crowded with merchandise. It says "Clothes for Work and Play"- and the sign doesn't lie. One side of the shop has both men's and women's shoes - practical, comfortable shoes like Clark's and Dansco, and boots and slippers. The other side is all men's wear. In between is a selection of nicely chosen, adorable children's clothes. There is something comfortably jumbled about the inventory at Ben's. I found some great gifts for kids of friends of mine and if I weren't such an internet bargain shopper for dansco, I would give them my business for my once-every-four-year dansco replacement. And just like very place I've shopped in Lee, the proprietor and staff could not be more delightful. No pretense, no fancy or trendy presentation, just quality goods.
